Steps to reproduce:

  • Run youtube-dl -f worst https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HooDdn_cuZs.
  • A webm file will be downloaded.
  • Opening with mpv or vlc plays only audio with no video.
  • Running without -f worst option downloads proper video file.

When setting -f worst option, the user expects to get the worst video format, not an audio format.

In the next version -f worst will download worst audio+video media served as a single file. Thanks for the report.
